In the first reading, Isaiah urges us in the
name of the Lord to feed the hungry,
shelter the homeless, and clothe the
naked. If we do so, he assures us, the
Lord will hear and answer our cries for
help in time of need. Stewardship by the Book….Sharon Hueckel

ADULT CONFIRMATION 2014 Bishop Jaime Soto is extending an opportunity to receive the
Sacrament of Confirmation to practicing, adult Catholics of the
Diocese of Sacramento, who have received religious instruction,
but for various reasons were never confirmed.
The celebration of the Sacrament will take place on Friday,
May 2, 2014, at St. Basil Church. Confirmation will be con-
ferred by Bishop Weigand during the celebration of the Eucha-
rist at 6:30 PM.
This opportunity is presented for those informed, adult Cath-
olics, who practice their faith in the parish community. Because
it is appropriate that the parish offer formation for those who
wish to be confirmed, classes will be offered beginning March 2
through April 27. For more information, please call Deacon
Errol Kissinger at (707) 644-5251, Ext. 14.
To participate the candidate must be a baptized Catholic, who
has received catechetical instruction at least up to receiving the
Eucharist (First Communion), be either unmarried or in a mar-
riage recognized as valid by the Catholic Church, have a recent
copy of their Baptismal Certificate issued within the past 6
months, and have a Confirmation sponsor who must be a con-
firmed, practicing Catholic and at least 16 years of age.

Light shines through the
darkness for the upright. `— Psalm 112:4
GOD’S SUMMONS If we are not able to witness concretely to the love of
Christ in our lives, then we are truly salt that has gone
tasteless. Our flavor and impact are lost. How difficult it is
to get them back again.
In the late 1940s the Christophers movement began in
the United States. The Christophers’ motto, “It is better to
light one candle than to curse the darkness,” attracted
many through the Christophers’ effective use of the media,
advertising, and the encouragement of its members to pro-
claim Christ in the workplace.
Jesus calls us to be that candle and to set ourselves in
the most visible place. Jesus, who brought eternal light to
the world, tells us that we, too, are the light of the world.
Through our words and actions we must let our light shine
in the sight of all so that in seeing our good works, every-
one may give praise to God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
